Colors

American flag so high
overseer of our nation
pride of our country
the symbol of freedom
on our soil;
torn, burned, and scorned
by others who believe we
should fall as a nation;
simple arrangement of colors
but so much more,
unwavering in the fight for
justice and freedom,
sometimes that fight is within,
no matter...
our flag flies free,
our nation survives,
our colors remain;
American flag so high.
